Homegrown and Handmade {Giveaway!}

This post may include affiliate links. If you make a purchase, I'll earn a small fee at no extra cost to you.

Our motto here at BrownThumbMama is “Make it, don’t buy it.” Whether it’s a simple recipe like DIY Natural Febreze or something a bit more involved like Homemade Orange Chicken, there are huge benefits to handmade over store-bought.

There are a growing number of people who prefer the homegrown and handmade lifestyle, and I’m excited to tell you about a new resource for all of us: Homegrown and Handmade by Deborah Niemann.

My review copy of this great new book is already dog-eared and bookmarked because of all the great things I’m learning from it! If there’s anything to be said about being a city homesteader–you have to always keep learning.

We’ve been gardening in our city backyard for 20 years now, and I’ve been cooking from scratch for about 10. Plus we enjoyed being having our own backyard beehive a couple of years ago. But there’s so much more I want to know.

What has “living homegrown and handmade” done for our family? It’s enabled us to live happily on a modest income. I was able to quit my stressful office job, be home with our kids, and help Hubby with his business.

In a society that equates success with busy-ness, slowing down and making your own can benefit you and your family (not to mention your blood pressure!).
